Rise of the She-Wolf

Colin’s pov,

He noticed the shocked look on Vanessa’s face and laughed, “I am just joking love. They just wanted to give you some time to get used to your new home without being overwhelmed by my whole family.”

Vanessa snorted, “You think you are really funny, don’t you?”

Colin smirked and took her hand leading her to his old-timer. Like a proper gentleman, he opened the car door for her and took his own spot behind the steering wheel.

His gaze fell on her neck where the print of his teeth was showing, Bolt was purring in his head. Satisfied for now that his mate was claimed, and no one would dare to pursue her with his mark on her skin. But he knew Bolt wouldn’t stay satisfied for long and would want him to rip her clothes off soon enough. It was funny he thought something would maybe change once he marked her, but he already thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world before he marked her. His heart had stopped for a moment when she walked into the church looking like a proper angel. Her scent was still intoxicating and delicious maybe slightly stronger. To his amusement, things did seem to have changed for Vanessa. He immediately noticed and smelled how her body reacted to him differently after the marking. So, the only thing he still had to do was win over her mind, which was no easy task being it such an intelligent and stubborn mind.

It felt good having her next to him again and he started the car while whistling a happy folksong. He decided to put on his naughty shoes and put his hand on Vanessa’s leg while driving. Vanessa immediately shot him a dirty look and slapped his hand away.

He dropped his lip into a pout and said, “Why would you still resist me, Vanessa? We both know your wolf and your body want me.”

Vanessa snarled, “Stop being so full of yourself. You would only be a disappointment anyway.”

He lifted his eyebrow, “Ow and why is that?”

She looked at him smugly, “Because you could never live up to the last guy I have been with.”

Colin relaxed his hands around the steering wheel and asked nonchalantly, “Well tell me about him. Why was he so great?”

Vanessa seemed hesitant at first but then told him all about Duke how they met, fell in love, and their tragic ending. Colin stayed silent for a moment before he replied, “He does sound like a great guy. Not for you though. You need someone that pushes your buttons, someone that motivates you to fulfill your destiny and become as great as you were meant to be.”

Vanessa sounded annoyed and looked at him all sassy when she said, “Ow and you are that guy?”

Colin gazed into her eyes, “Yes, I am. I see you for what you are Vanessa. I am not scared of your ugly sides. You don’t have to hide anything from me. Duke wanted to run away with you and give you an ordinary life. But you are not meant to be ordinary Vanessa. You are meant to be extraordinary.”

She looked at him confused and speechless before she averted her eyes and mumbled, “Whatever Colin.”

Colin smiled lightly because if he made her lost for words, he must have said something right. In the meantime, they arrived back at his mansion. He took Vanessa’s backpack and carried it inside his room. Vanessa reluctantly followed him and hesitated when she saw where he was bringing her stuff.

“Why are you bringing my things to your room?”

Colin placed her backpack on the bed and said, “Because you are sleeping here in my room, with me.”

Vanessa looks panicked for a moment, “Ow no, no, no, no I can’t.”

Colin laughed, “Scared you can’t keep your hands to yourself at night?”

Her cheeks flushed and she snarled, “Ow shut up.”

Colin rolled his eyes, “Don’t be so dramatic. It’s not going to be very believable that you are my Luna if we sleep in separate rooms, is it? We have to assume that the Russians are keeping an eye on us to see if it’s real. Anyway, I am going to take a shower. Make yourself comfortable.”

He went into the bathroom and stepped into a cold shower. He needed the cold water to keep him calm because he could feel Bolt getting restless. Her scent of citrus and flowers tickled his nose constantly like she was standing beside him. It took him 20 minutes of torture with cold water to get himself under control again. He turned off the shower and draped a towel around his hips. In his hurry to escape Vanessa, he forgot to take his clothes with him so he would have to go out like this.

When he walked back into his bedroom, he saw Vanessa changed into more comfortable clothes. She was standing with her back toward him looking at symbols he drew on his wooden clothing closet. He felt his throat go dry when he noticed the round shape of her butt in those sweatpants. Vanessa turned around when she heard his footstep but immediately froze when she saw he was almost naked. Her eyes devoured his bare torso and he saw that they were changing color constantly. They went from light blue to shining silver every time her wolf tried to surface and that happened a lot in a matter of seconds.

He walked toward her, and she just stared at him unable to do anything else. He stood still really close just a few inches away from her face and grabbed some clothes behind her. He then looked at her lips quickly before returning to the bathroom to put his clothes on. He heard her let out a frustrated sigh when he walked away, and he couldn’t help but smile. It felt good to know that she wanted him.

When he came back, she had turned off the lights and he could see her lying under the blankets in his bed. He walked to his couch and made a bed with a spare blanket for himself. He laid down and listened to the rain tapping on the window for a while unable to sleep. It must have been 30 minutes later when Vanessa grunted, “You are not even going to try to seduce me?”

He chuckled at the disappointed undertone in her voice and said with a husky, arrogant voice, “No Vanessa, I don’t have to because it won’t be long before you will be begging me to fuck you.”

All he got back was an angry “HMPF.” After that, he heard her twist and turn angrily for a long while which was kind of amusing, to be honest. Eventually, her breathing became calmer, and she fell asleep. Leaving him all alone with his urges to run to the bed and show her how good he could make her feel. Being the only one suffering was much harder and eventually, he even took half a sleeping pill to take him to the land of dreams. There where Vanessa was not out of his reach but in his arms.
